This video demonstrates a custom setup in Gig Performer called Phil’s Super Section, designed to create realistic brass, saxophone, and woodwind sections using multiple Kontakt instrument modules (0:00 - 0:45).
Key features and techniques include:
-
Host Automation: The creator uses Gig Performer widgets to control various aspects of the instruments, allowing for dynamic, real-time adjustments (0:48 - 2:40).
-
Customizable Sections: Users can turn individual instruments on or off, adjust volume, panning, and octave ranges, and toggle between dry and wet (reverb) sounds (1:46 - 4:41).
-
Variations: By saving different configurations as GP Variations, the user can switch instantly between complex setups like a “Trumpet section” or a “Tower of Power” sax arrangement (2:50 - 8:33).
-
Efficiency: The setup is highly optimized, with low CPU usage (typically 9-11%), making it perfect for live performance (5:16 - 5:44, 11:33 - 11:45).
The creator emphasizes that the system is modular and expandable, allowing users to add any instruments they prefer and continue building new sound variations indefinitely (11:12 - 12:46).
